About Marc


Bio

I hold a PhD and master’s degree from MIT in hydrometeorology, as well as dual bachelor’s degrees from Cornell University. During my academic career, I conducted original scientific research and published research findings. Today, I work in natural catastrophe modeling, where I use mathematics, statistics, and scientific analysis to understand risks from extreme weather and other natural hazards. But have skills in communication, presentations, and english as well.

I hold a PhD and master’s degree from MIT in hydrometeorology, as well as dual bachelor’s degrees from Cornell University. During my academic career, I conducted original scientific research and published research findings. Today, I work in natural catastrophe modeling, where I use mathematics, statistics, and scientific analysis to understand risks from extreme weather and other natural hazards. But have skills in communication, presentations, and english as well.

I also have hands-on tutoring experience through Chicago Lights and Tutoring Chicago. I’ve worked one-on-one with students from eighth grade to high school, including students transitioning to high school. In addition, I volunteer as an MIT Educational Counselor in Chicago. Lastly, I enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests (like the SATs) and academic entrance exams, focusing on effective study strategies, critical thinking, problem-solving, and building confidence to perform at their best.

I believe that good tutoring is about more than finding the right answer. I help students understand why a method works, break complex ideas into manageable steps, and build the confidence to solve problems independently. I adapt my approach to each student’s strengths, questions, and goals.

I offer online tutoring in math, statistics, and science, whether a student needs help with homework, exam preparation, or strengthening foundational skills.

Most importantly, I want students to enjoy learning. I bring patience, encouragement, and a sense of fun to each session while fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and excitement about how the world works.

Approved Subjects

Earth Science

Earth Science

I earned my PhD and master’s degree in hydrometeorology from MIT, where I conducted original scientific research and published academic findings. As a senior climate scientist specializing in natural catastrophe modeling, I apply meteorology, climatology, and Earth science to understand hurricanes, extreme weather, and natural hazards. I also have one-on-one tutoring experience with middle and high school students through Chicago Lights and Tutoring Chicago. I enjoy making complex scientific concepts understandable, engaging, and fun while encouraging curiosity and critical thinking.
Linux

Linux

I hold a PhD and master’s degree from MIT, where I used Linux extensively for scientific research, data analysis, and computational modeling. I have over 15 years of professional experience in natural catastrophe modeling and continue to use Linux regularly as a senior climate scientist. I am responsible for managing my organization’s scientific computing cluster, giving me hands-on experience with Linux environments, command-line operations, shell scripting, and computational workflows. I can help students understand Linux fundamentals, develop practical technical skills, and confidently apply Linux to programming, research, and scientific computing.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I hold a PhD and master’s degree in hydrometeorology from MIT, where my research involved atmospheric physics, thermodynamics, and advanced scientific modeling. I have 15 years of professional experience in natural catastrophe modeling, applying principles of physical science to understand hurricanes, severe weather, and other natural hazards. I also have one-on-one tutoring experience with middle and high school students through Chicago Lights and Tutoring Chicago. I enjoy connecting scientific concepts to real-world examples, making challenging subjects understandable and fun while encouraging curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking.
